Hmmm... (scratching head) Some of my biggest concerns have to do with game balance, and right now I can see both good and bad points on both sides.
For instance, if religions have one or more powers that are valuable (and relatively easy to acquire), then why would players prefer to play in the non-religious factions where they have no such powers? Wouldn't the religions become bloated with clans looking for that edge in their play?
OTOH, if the powers are exceptionally difficult to obtain, then why should most clans be bothered with them at all? Most people wouldn't want to put forth the extreme time and effort needed to reach such lofty levels and therefore the power might as well not be available (as far as most players are concerned).
I kinda think it'd be better to have a moderately-valuable power for each faction, and one that is easy to acquire when in that faction, and for all the factions to have both strengths and weaknesses. Then players can choose factions based on what they think sounds like more fun rather than being able to "get more" out of one faction than another.
Does that make any kind of sense?
